“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”

"We should become supremely rational, moving faster than the comparatively timid procedures of Old Science. We must conquer death itself and win immortality, the faster the better, dismissing those who would urge restraint in this effort as hidebound and inferior thinkers. We shall build unspeakably powerful artificial intelligences to rule over us, transform us from weak creatures of flesh into beings of pure information. Then we'll build giant structures that blot out the stars, and finally realize our destiny of taking over the galaxy."

And again artificial intelligence that destroys and kills, and blah blah. So boring.

Hm. I must say I'm a bit surprised that this is the impression you get from that quote.

Why do you think that it would be a great idea of giving such power to humans?

Because it is the shortest way to achieving anything. Intelligence is the measure of control over future outcomes and whatever amplifies it and its resources, is good.
